From when they first started reporting the Paris Terrorist attack, to have a guest
on who blamed President Obama.
Some guy from Homeland security who made it clear that it was Obamas fault and we cannot
close Gitmo, we have to secure the borders, more power has to be given to the TSA, and people
cannot worry about civil liberties, that government organizations should have the right to search
without a warrent.
He was then questioned on GUNS, but he was okay with the public having guns.
I thought I was watching a republican debate.

(58,785 posts)They're expert on timing this stuff, after all. Wouldn't want even Fox viewers struck by the notion that their coverage might be indecent.

(3,660 posts)I saw that earlier. They had it up on Drudge also. This is going to become the popular right wing meme over the next several weeks/months. They are basically going to put all this on the shoulders of President Obama and just wait for when we get closer to the GE next year. Lots more of this stuff I'm afraid.

(3,660 posts)The GOP could obviously give a shit about these victims in Paris, but they will have no reservations about using the tragedy for their own political advantage.

(13,598 posts)At the time, I thought Obama was right to withdraw American troops from Iraq, but with the benefit of hindsight, I think it's quite hard to argue that it wouldn't have been better not to do so.
Yes, it's certainly also true that it would have been better still not to send those troops in in the first place. But I don't think "ISIS would probably not have arisen if the USA had kept troops in the region" is just a right-wing meme, sadly.
